Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck wed in Vegas

Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have finally tied the knot in Las Vegas. According to a marriage license on the online records for Clark County, Nevada, the couple’s official marriage was filed on Saturday. The record is in their legal names—Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez. Significantly, the record also indicates that Jennifer Lopez took Affleck as her legal last name.

Lopez confirmed her and Affleck’s nuptials through a new edition of her newsletter “On the JLo” later Sunday afternoon.

“We did it!” Lopez wrote, alongside a black-and-white photograph of her holding a bouquet and Affleck kissing her cheek.

“Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world,” Lopez shared.

The singer went on to say that they “Barely made it to the Little White Wedding chapel by midnight,” and concluded her newsletter with sweet enthusiasm writing, “Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at 12.30 in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with.

Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things “and worth waiting for”. She signed the letter as Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck. The news of Lopez and Affleck’s engagement first broke in April. In an edition of On the JLo, the singer and actress shared a teary-eyed video for her fans while sporting a green diamond engagement ring.

She wrote, “Saturday night while at my favourite place on earth (in a bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed.” Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, were among the most prominent celebrity couples in the early 2000s. They made two films together. The first was 2003’s Gigli which didn’t exactly light the box office on fire. —IANS
